Q: Why no replies to my post??
I posted this question yesterday and have had no replies or follow-ups. Does that mean that no-one else has this problem? Or that loads of people have the problem and they can't solve it either?? I find it hard to believe that either of those explanations is true. I'd appreciate any insights as to why my posting got no response! Thanks, Dave. - Hello Mutt people, Something that's been bugging me over the last few days/weeks since I upgraded from Mutt 1.2.x to Mutt 1.3.x - "special" characters aren't displayed properly. e.g. the UK pound sign, £ (don't know how that'll appear for most of you) appears as \243 (that's backslash, 2, 4, 3). This behaviour is with all versions 1.3.7 to 1.3.9, and I assume it's something to do with the iconv setup, although this support is compiled in properly as far as I can tell: Mutt 1.3.9i (2000-09-21) Copyright (C) 1996-2000 Michael R.

This is definitely a problem I having with the Mutt pager, since if I reply to a message, the pound sign appears correctly in the editor, presumably because Vim is displaying it, not Mutt. I tried recompiling with the --enable-locales-fix option, but that resulted in the same behaviour. What am I doing wrong? I am running Mutt in an Eterm under KDE, if that's useful info, and I get the same behaviour in a Konsole. In all circumstances, Mutt 1.2.5 works fine.

e.g. the UK pound sign, £ (don't know how that'll appear for most of you) appears as \243 (that's backslash, 2, 4, 3). Set your locale properly. If that doesn't help, compile with --enable-locales-fix.

asked many times
I have a question that has been asked many times, but I don't think it really has been answered: When replying to a mail how can I set the From: header line so that it corresponds to the To: address of the mail I am replying to? So far it's easy (reverse_name and set_from), but when _not_ replying, I want to use From: headers that correspond to the recipient of the new mail. Here is an example: When I write a new mail to the mutt-mailinglist I want From: to be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] But when I get a mail from someone who sent it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I want From: to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I tried it this way: send-hook '~C mutt-' 'my_hdr From: Andy Spiegl [EMAIL PROTECTED]' but then reverse_name doesn't work. So I tried: send-hook '~C mutt-' 'set from="Andy Spiegl [EMAIL PROTECTED]"' but then from is set for the next mail, not for the current one. *argh* How did you guys solve this dilemma?

Or pipe it through "more" if I'm curious. My scenario being that sitting at a Linux box running X, xterms running sessions locally accented chars as "?", but xterms running sessions on a Solaris box display accented chars properly. Twiddling with locale settings or using --enable-locales-fix, neither seems to work.

How did you guys solve this dilemma? You need to define a send-hook matching anything, with precedence over this send-hook, which resets $from to a default value. For example, I have this in my muttrc: send-hook '.' 'unmy_hdr Reply-To:' send-hook '~C postmaster@uchicago' 'my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' The first one unsets Reply-To: for any send, then passes on to the second. The second one sets Reply-To: for any mail to our postmaster address (which forwards to me). Not quite the same as setting $from, but close enough to illustrate. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

You can use a combination of $timeout and $mail_check to get similar results. $mail_check controls how often your "mailboxes" are checked, and $timeout controls the minimum time to poll the current mailbox. I use $mail_check of 90 and $timeout of 15, personally.

xterm window resizing
Hi all. I've noticed a really annoying problem, that I can't seem to be able to resize the xterm that is running mutt. I've experienced affects from mutt just not going aloong with the new size, to mutt crashing after hitting 'y' to send a new message (then I have to go back in check to make sure it really did send it). I searched back thru the archives, and it seems that a possible fix is having to link against a new version of ncurses or slang. Is this still the only fix for this, or am I off on the wrong track? If this is right, then what would be considered 'new' versions of these libraries?

About PGP public key service. (With P.S.)
I heard that people have troubles with public PGP key service.
That's why I'd like to introduce the way I did it myself.
I hope that this info will be helpful for someone.
--
1) In ~/.procmailrc:
:0
* ^Subject: publicpgpkey
| /home/eugene/bin/publicpgpkey "`formail -x 'From: '`"
2) /home/eugene/bin/publicpgpkey:
#!/bin/sh
KEYRING=/home/eugene/.pgp/pubring.pkr
PUBLIC=/tmp/publicpgpkey
USERID=Eugene
if [ "$1" == "--help" ] ; then
echo "Public PGP key utility."
echo "Usage: $0 [e-mail]"
echo "e-mail: To send public PGP key to a particular e-mail."

Now one can make changes for him/herself and be happy.
P.S. There are two things I still can't understand.
1) Why do people post here signed messages. I think there's no need in it.
2) If they sign their messages they suppose that someone have their public
key to verify signature. Where can I get it? From public server of keys?
{I don't remember the correct name.} Again, there is no need in these
servers. 'couse noone would ask for public key of an unknown man just to
verify a signature.
It's a stupid idea as for me.

I'm looking for being prompted for where to save outgoing messages.
I know about 'record' and 'copy' variables,
which set where and whether to save or not, or ask.
('force_name' and 'save_name' just set the mailboxe name for each message.)
I also know the 'f' command in compose menu, and the 'fcc-hook' commande in .muttrc.
But I would like to be prompted for the place where to save the outgoing message
any time I send one.
does anybody know something about that?
thanks.

sending mail
Maybe I shoud have sent this to mutt-users... I am just starting to use mutt, and noticed something : it is quite hard to configure when you have an email adress different from your unix account. Generally, you end up using the sendmail "-f" switch, but in a case like this you get an "Authentication-Warning" with some mail agents like postfix (as you can see in the headers of this message). I did not check very far, but apparently some other programs take the approach of sending mail by communicating with sendmail via the port 25, and not by calling it directly. Apparently, they avoid the -f switch, and thus the warning. xfmail takes this approach. But maybe I did something wrong ? -- Emmanuel Anne - ABS Tél : 01 55 04 84 90 email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] site web : http://www.absysteme.fr

That's very nice but I'd like my signature to be changed every time
I compose a new message. Not every session of mutt.
If you read the manual, you'll discover that if $signature ends with
a pipe ("|"), then it is run as a program and the output is used as your
signature. That's what I do.
Same here. Works a treat

PGP signature
Aborted unmodified message.
Hi there, I just re-installed vim on my system. When I now try to compose a message after I enter the name of the recipient mutt does not allow me to write a message. Istead it displays a Aborted unmodified message. message. Any suggestions how to overcome this problem? Thanks in advance.

After having a look at the manual, looks like it can't be done. The implementation would likely be trivial, as there's already (for example) the $askbcc setting.

P.S. There are two things I still can't understand.
1) Why do people post here signed messages. I think there's no need in it.
because a lot of people (me included) have mutt sign their messages
automatically, and often don't bother/forget to tell it not to sign to
lists...
2) If they sign their messages they suppose that someone have their public
key to verify signature. Where can I get it? From public server of keys?
{I don't remember the correct name.} Again, there is no need in these
servers. 'couse noone would ask for public key of an unknown man just to
verify a signature.
Set your mutt/gpg to automatically get keys from a keyserver (like
wwwkeys.pgp.net) and then when it encounters a key it doesn't know, it'll
try and get it and automatically verify it. it's pretty cool. :)

Max Msgs: Count
I have many email files with over 100,000 messages and counting. However, I cannot get Mutt to indicate over 99,999 messages. It simply chops off the last number making it appear that I have much less. Is there a way to expand this field to handle very large mail volume? Since Mutt is one of the very few MUA's that can actually sort through this in record time it should probably be able to do this. I just cannot find how. There is actually 275,803 messages in this mailbox/file. Mutt: =saved [Msgs:27580 New:26236 Post:1 Inc:1 100M]---(threads/reverse-date-receive Thanks, -- Best Regards, Corey
Unable to send key
I seem to be unable to send my public GPG key. Here's what happens when I try: 1) Let's say I've composed an e-mail and am ready to send it, along with my key. From the compose menu, I press Esck; 2) I'm prompted at the bottom of the screen: "Please enter the key ID:" I enter the ID of my GPG public key and press RETURN. 3) This puts me in the PGP menu where I see my public and private key IDs listed thus: 1 + 1024/0xFC5C7370 DSA -s Russell Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2 + /Xx XXX e- Russell Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4) I press RETURN and get this message at the bottom of my screen: Invoking pgp...File `gpg-output' exists. Overwrite (y/N)? This is where the trouble starts, because I am now stuck here. I can't get out by pressing RETURN or y or Y or n or N or anything else. I'm hung. 5) So I Control-c out, and am put back into the compose menu, where I see my public key listed in the Attachments list: - A 2 PGP Key 0xFC5C7370. [applica/pgp-keys, 7bit, 0K] But when I 'v'iew the key attachment, I get this message: [-- Error: could not find beginning of PGP message! --] And if I send this mail, the recipient sees this: -- [-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.1K --] My text message here. -- // [EMAIL PROTECTED] // [-- Attachment #2: PGP Key 0xFC5C7370. --] [-- Type: application/pgp-keys, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0K --] [-- Error: could not find beginning of PGP message! --] --- What am I doing wrong? -- // [EMAIL PROTECTED] //

Re: sending mail
[mutt-dev trimmed] Emmanuel Anne proclaimed on mutt-users that: I am just starting to use mutt, and noticed something : it is quite hard to configure when you have an email adress different from your unix account. Generally, you end up using the sendmail "-f" switch, but in a case like this you get an "Authentication-Warning" with some mail agents like postfix (as you can see in the headers of this message). Should that matter? Anyone who filters on an X- header like that should, erm, re-evaluate his priorities :) I did not check very far, but apparently some other programs take the approach of sending mail by communicating with sendmail via the port 25, and not by calling it directly. Apparently, they Pine does it - if you set it to use 'sender' instead of X-Sender. Using X-Sender will make pine talk smtp using sendmail -bs (or equivalent) - producing a header like X-Authentication-Warning: foo owned process using -bs If your actual unix account name resolves, instead of being in RFC 1918 space (192.168./16, 10./8 etc) and is not something like [EMAIL PROTECTED], then you can safely send using that, and altering your from header using my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Foo Bar) Mutt will still use the envelope sender of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is not a problem if it resolves - but if it does not resolve, you'll end up having lots of mail bounced / dev/nulled, as most well configured MTAs will refuse to accept mail if they can't resolve the envelope sender's domain name.
